Catholic Crafts and More for Kids
We have been continuing on our journey of religious notebooking, and today we covered the topic of Jerusalem, Elijah, Jonah, and more!

You can find the entire 130 page … [Read more...]

This craft is also a great one to hang up during Lent as a reminder! Supplies Needed: Assorted Paper Scissors Marker Glue (I like glue dots for this one) White Paper (or small paper … [Read more...]
For years now, I've been using a crown of thorns as a sacrifice tool for my children during Lent. We made simple ones when they were little, and eventually I made a permanent one that we just pull out of our Lent box from the attic each year. This year, I'm adding a printable to ours to really help the younger kids with the imagery here (Plus, ya'll know me, any chance to include some artwork … [Read more...]

I made a pack of Scripture Memorcy cards that has only verses from the book of Psalms. I specifically chose Psalms that Catholics are already familiar with. All of the artwork on the cards is my own. :-) My hope is that memorizing Scripture we're already somewhat familiar with as Catholics will build our confidence and lead to further Scripture memorization, which is something I desperately … [Read more...]
